RADIOFREQUENCY DIATHERMY IN THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC PAIN - IN-PERSON - 4-13-2024

- In this training you will obtain sufficient knowledge to strategically select, within the therapeutic framework, the frequency, power, technique and duration of the treatment to obtain an optimal result in pathologies that cause pain, both in acute and chronic states.

- Diathermy is the most powerful non-invasive physical therapy with an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxing effect. This set of effects, widely demonstrated, allows us to go beyond simply reducing pain, facilitating the regeneration of affected tissues, when this is still possible and allowing us to obtain outstanding results in all types of pathologies.

- Viewing videos where you can see the correct way to use diathermy, applying standard manual, convex, automatic and myofascial electrodes.

«I have been working with diathermy equipment of different brands for more than 25 years. Currently in our office we have 10 different equipment and I must admit that if they are applied correctly and we have an accurate diagnosis, with all of them excellent results are obtained and in some cases even surprising."
